5 Then the Lord came down in the pillar of the cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision and will speak unto him in dreams.
7 My slave Moses is not so, who is faithful in all my house.
8 With him I will speak mouth to mouth and by sight not by enigmas; he shall see the similitude of the Lord. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my slave Moses?
9 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, and, behold, Miriam was leprous as the snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and we have sinned.
